The Mountainside theatre was created from a natural amphitheatre in the hills above the Indian Village of Cherokee, N.C. In this sylvan setting, in the shadow of the everlasting peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains, is presented the drama "Unto These Hills" - a moving and authentic saga of the Cherokee Indians and their mountaineer neighbors. It is the story of the handful of Cherokees who hid in the Great Smokies rather than move west on The Trail of Tears. Though their descendants, Indian customs and mountain traditions, fast becoming extinct, are being revived and preserved. |
